The bulletins which are being issued from time to time by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa convey an a- mnunt of information. both scientific and practical, which cannot fail, if prop- erly appreciated and used, to be of great service to Canadian farmers, and by consequence to Canada itself. Bulletin No. 12, the last to hand. is a pamphlet of exceptional Value. It consists of two parts. both dealing with maize, or In- dian corn. Part L, by Professor Saun- ders himself, treats of maize as a fodder plant. Part 11., by Mr. Shutt, the chemist of the Experimental Farm, is a report on the chemical composition of certain varieties of maizo. its main pup pose being to show at what period the crop may be mmt profitably out. One simple but most important fact which Professor Saunders insists upon should be well pondered by Canadian farmers, east or west. It is the demonstrable yet widely forgotten fact, that “with every load of grain they sell they die- pose ofa part of the valuable constituâ€" ents of their land in the important in- and this process of drawing continually on the fertility of the land without ‘making adequate returns is just as cer- min to result in impoverishment as would frequent drafts without deposits on a limited balance in the bank." The mode of prevention is equally simple. It consists, in a word, in abandoning the practice, still too prevalent in some sections, of depending for returns on the sale of cereals alone, or on the dis- posal of hay grown on the farm, and acting upon the knowledge which both science and experience concur in bestow- ing. This knowledge is that the coursc just described will sooner or later reduce the best farm to such a condition as to ‘ make cropping unprofitable, while, on the other hand, “ when the growing of grain and hay is associated with the raising of stock and posturing, and where a large portion of what is grown on the land is fed to cattle on the farm, the monuriul constituents obtained will, it" well cared for and returned to the soil, materially aid in maintaining its fertility for a very long period." The pamphlet contains, as the result of a series of experiments at the farm, much valuable information in regard to the ditfcrent varieties of corn and the best modes of cultivation. Professor Saun- ders says that opinions differ as to the relative values of ensilaue and hay, some careful observers claiming that two tons of wellprepared ensilage are equal to one ton of hay, while others hold that three tons are required to furnish the same quantity of nutriment. The de- ttils are furnished of the cost of growing .. two acres of corn and putting it in the :ihe silo at the Central Experimental. The result fixes the total cost at from $1 25 to $1 46 per ton, according to the mode of computation. It is ob- viously true, therefore, that, as the pro- fessor observes, no other food so no. ,tnitious for the winter feeding of stock can be produced so cheaply. These statements will serve to illustrate the practical and useful nature of the these bulletins. We hope they are very wide- ly read and studied by the farmers of \Canada.â€" The Week. .__._.- u A large steamer has been sunk ofi‘ Dover, Eng. Name unknown.

Ifa building worth $1200 is insured for say $1000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay $1000, ifa loss occurs. In such a case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds of the cash value, or $800. 2. lie horse worth $90 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to. pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. For a cow worth .530 killed by light. ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. In the. London Mutual they are insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically, such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ordinary contents " of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian nu. implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only one reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the. Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ordinary contents " of all building not cut oii‘ byn distance great- er than 40 tt., the same as if the contents were all under one roof. The London illu- tual requires it Separate sum on the conâ€" tents of each building, if the distance is more titan 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard srnan Ttmssusns may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stocks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit. When a farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pay for ninety days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. 11. As to security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount be estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he reports that it has to the good the $t00,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $117,607 making in all a total cash surplus of $5l7,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpected contingencies. In ad- dition to these cash items it has a subscrib- ed capital of $100,000 not called up. Re- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it should have on hand is $290,309. To make up this amount in cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount. leaving a surplus of only $74,218, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid at the close of the year at $6,- 387, but the Inspector of insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the and of the year was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911. ‘ In view of the foregoing facts farmers will have no ditiiculty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured. For insurance apply to S. CORNEIL, Agent, Lindsay. The “ Fenelon Falls Gazette ” is printed every Saturday at the omen, on the corner of lay & Francis streets.
